NEVADA COUNTY.
1t Stands Nobly by the State Fair and
Sacramento Trade.

Grass Valley Tidings1
The Sacramento Bee seems to have
worked itself into a position which is all
wrong, if we may judge by an editorial in
its last Saturdays issue. Our esteemed
contemporary berates the wholesale mer-
chants of its town in a manner that is con-
sidered savage, and it takes the occasion to
do the people and the press of Nevada
county very great injustice.
The Bee says that while the wholesale
merchants of Sacramento at one time SUBJ
scribed 81 500 to a fair held in Nevada
county, the people and press of Nevada
county turned right around and denounced
the State Fair, and pointed out that the
interests of the Nevada county people lie
with the Mechanics Fair of San Francisco
Now the press of Nevada county have
done nothing of the kind, with one excep-
ton, and the people here. never at all. Most
certainly the 9Iduags has all the time advo-
cateti the State Fair as against the San Fran
cisco -how. We know and hold that the
State Fair and the several district fairs are
interested in each others success, and that
the Nj Mechanics Institute Fair can help our
interior fairs very little, if in any degree.
Everybody in this part of the country
knows where the interests of this part of
the country lies, and, like everybody else,
everybody here follows his interest
The exception of which we speak, in
the press, is our esteemed contemporary
the Nevada City Transcript That paper
runs By impulse, and ii one day urged the
Nevada county people to patronize the San
Francisco show and give the State Fair the
go by. That was all because somebody in
Sacramento county, or in some part OF the
valley, IS opposed TO having hydraulic
mining going on. The Transcript has

There is good deal of trade from this
county with Sacramento. This is because
the Sacramento wholesale dealers sell as
low, if not lower, than the San Franciscans
do. Then freights are less from Sacra-
mento, and the dealer gets his goods
quicker time is money, and there are
other conveniences which might be men
toned in Sacramento's wholesale favor.
Trade goes where it can DO best for itself,
and trade has no sentimentality in its COM
position. Communities may quarrel with
each other about many things, but trade
disregards all quarrels and takes itself
where it can get the most goods for its
money. That is why the Transcript buys

Sacramento, while it (the Transcript adj

chants.
The Bee cuts the hog in disastrous
place if it can persuade Sacramento whole
salers to not get the Nevada county trade
because of what it calls the vandalism of
the miners. But the Bee can't do that. be-
cause the trade from this mining region is
mostly cash trade, and in very many lines
Sacramento can bid more advantageously
than any other place for that trade and its
cash.
